Consider the gibbs free energy of two systems interacting


Consider the Gibbs free energy of two systems interacting diffusively, but held at constant temperature and pressure. Suppose the two systems are displaced slightly away from equilibrium by the transfer of a small number of particles from one to the other. By examining both the first- and second-order terms in this small displacement, show that the Gibbs free energy is a minimum when the two are in equilibrium.
